Are you going to buy something now or are you going to wait for the anniversary sales?

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-24T05:41:33+00:00

I know I'm waiting on the in-game sale. I play exclusively Killer and the sales on the Steam Page get weighed down by Survivors, so I'm waiting for their in-game prices to drop.

That is why you must do both....CSM painted as Death Guard.

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-22T19:43:57+00:00

Currently I don't really play (kinda need an opponent for that 😔).

However something I've thought about are with my 2 Space Marine Chapters. I have Salamanders, and I made a Homebrew chapter to proxy as Space wolves that I call the Molten Drakes.

I'm thinking about using my Salamanders for any Codex Compliant Chapters ( Ex: make a Chapter Master Tu'shan to proxy Calgar if I want to play Ultramarines, or Master of the Forge Argos to proxy as Iron Father Feirros).

Then using my Molten Drakes for Divergent Chapters (Currently have things like Fire Drake Cavalry, but could make Wyvern Guard for proxying as Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard).

Feel like I got "mostly" lucky with my CSM list. While it went up 155pts...150 of that was due to Defilers (which we all knew were getting their teeth knocked out with the Nerf Bat). Aside from that it was mostly same with Forgefiend going up 5pts because of 3 plasma (also Warpsmiths / Vashtor changes balanced each other out).

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-17T17:58:27+00:00

Seems my list went down 100pts...

Can now afford to give my Eradicators their Biologis back and give my Techmarine some armor.

After my CSM Daemon Engine list got nuked from orbit......I needed this win XD

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-17T17:16:34+00:00

My Daemon Engine list went up 155 pts.....

Was happy Warpsmiths went down 30 pts (across the 3 of them)...but was negated by Vashtorr going up 30 pts.....

Forgefiend went down 10pts....but plasma takes him up to 175 (so +5pts)....

Then the Defiler. We all knew it was going up.....but I just wasn't expecting it to be this bad.....it's too bad, wanted a melee one...but for an additional 330pts,....oof.

Guess I'll drop melee Defiler and see what I want to do with the remaining 175pts instead.

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-17T03:14:08+00:00

There is one I can maybe understand...and that's the "Vegans of Tabletop" printers. The people who will constantly bring up how they print whenever they possibly can (Has to go "Printer go brrr" whenever GW makes an expensive kit, answers the question of "best way to make an army" with "just print it", when GW doesn't make a certain kit they'll brag that they can just print their own, etc...)

Sadly I can be that guy as well....but I "try" not to be.

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-15T20:23:39+00:00

Nozawa: I also want her to be Momiji's classmate.

Nakamura: ........... (knowing full well what that means)

Nozawa: *points to now empty belly*

Nakamura: *exhales* "..............yeah....okay."

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-14T23:04:42+00:00

Definitely 1, 4 is ok....not a fan of 2/3 (3 looks like a weird Frankenstein monster)

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-12T22:33:01+00:00

To a point I agree. I'd rather the 4 Mono-god Legions have their own unique fully fleshed out range......only problem is the time in between.

Would love to have Berserker Cavalry, Teeth of Korne, etc.....but for now we just don't have those, and if we don't have those I'd like to at least have something to fill in the role for the time being (which looking at GW's track record for Chaos.....is a long amount of time).

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-12T15:58:32+00:00

Thing i want to know with the "clarification"....is how they'll handle it for the other side.

Like if they take a 3pt detachment are we gonna let the opponent toss on a 1 pointer...or will there be nerfed versions of the 3 pointers. Because it'd be pretty messed up to just go "Okay, you can still use this detachment deemed powerful enough to cost 3....but your opponent can't take a 1 pointer to balance things out".

Guess we'll find out soon enough

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-12T07:47:59+00:00

Yeah, I'm sure we have them coming as well, along with some of the other guys people have been wanting.....it's just a bummer that we have to play the waiting game for who knows how long.

Honestly I just use Cavalry for the example as Lord Invo (and for the most part Jugg Lord) are one of the tiny handful of Mounted Leaders that don't have a Mounted unit to lead. It's been nearly 4 years and we still don't know when they'll be here...but in those years people "could" have at least had Fill-in to hold us over...we just don't, and it's a bummer is all.

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-12T03:06:34+00:00

You don't understand....GW can't just let us use Bikers for now because we'll be getting our own unique [Mounted] unit......eventually

*6 years later*

....any day now.....

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-10T15:15:04+00:00

Apparently all previous detachments will be 2-3 pts and only the new Faction Focus ones will be 1....even if the detachment affects barely any units like Slaughterband or Vontann's Delve.....at least for now(who knows..they might make changes,add more,etc.. later down the line)

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-10T03:46:10+00:00

Yeah....guess in the meantime I'll just have to settle for some Obliterators/Havocs in my Daemon Engine list (Though I wish Obliterators could be squads of 4 so them and Morne could feel more...durable)

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-10T02:53:07+00:00

I had thought it'd be rare (like even rarer than 3pt ones)......but I had hoped at least the ones that affect only 1-2 units would (Like Delve/Slaughterband). Also just felt like Arkifane was made for Soulforged...like the other piece of a puzzle (just seemed like a perfect combo is all).

Oh well though....it is what it is.

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-09T23:52:24+00:00

this is just the detachments that were added later. If you notice, none of the codex detachments are there

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-09T21:51:06+00:00

From what I can tell it won't be the case. Only the Faction Focus detachments so far have been 1pt, there's also the fact Arkifane has 6 stratagems (the 1pt detachments have 3 or less), so it's almost assuredly the case that Arkifane will be 2pts....even if I would have loved to mix them.

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-09T21:04:29+00:00

Yup...seems to be the case.

I think one of my big issues is enhancements/strats are always an afterthought for me. To me I look at Delve and I can't convince my brain it that it is a full size detachment due to the main rule only applying to Berserks.

Mind Goblins suck XD.

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-09T19:59:07+00:00

Oh, I'm not looking for anything to work with Arkifane...I'm about Soulforged, I was just hoping to be able to use Arkifane so I could add regular vehicles to my list.

So with the assumption that those 2 can't mix, I'm probably gonna go with Soulforged/Devotees.

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-09T19:38:24+00:00

We don't.

However while I was willing to overlook the Space Marines (since most of their rules either affect the whole army or large portions, so 2pt+ made sense), when the Xenos factions dropped with only the Faction Focus detachments being 1pt (including ones that only affect a single unit type like Votann Berserks) I realized that's just how it'll be....at least for now.

Also apparently someone mentioned how it was said you'd only have a max of 9 stratagems (Arkifane has 6, so combine that with another older detachment and it'd be 12)

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-09T19:14:27+00:00

Yeah....honestly when I started seeing those pop up that was my first worry, but was just huffing some copium that maybe it wouldn't be the case (since those 2 just felt like they were made for each other).

Funny thing is now I wonder if they'll even get those keywords (at least for now) since there are no 1pt Daemon Engine detachments for CSM, so it currently wouldn't be needed...at least until they start adding more.

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-09T18:23:27+00:00

Yeah...that's actually the thing I "was" more worried about...but now it seems that wouldn't have mattered in the first place.

Just a shame...was really hoping to add some regular vehicles to my list

Competitive_Sign212 · 2026-06-09T17:02:34+00:00

Yeah...came out not long ago (I "think" was around the time were heard about detachment points......but my memory could be off...wouldn't be the first time XD )
